Star Citizen - Chris Roberts, lots of spaceship porn, lots of promises

[dsmart]

So Avacados, without breaking NDA, how is it?

“It sucks, I have been playing and FPS is solid 15. All the typical 2.6 bugs are still present. Game is done for.”

Star Citizen alpha 3.0 out now for testing

“A CIG representative has since informed us that while they can’t give us an exact date on 3.0’s arrival, they “certainly hope it’s soon.””

I think the correct term for it would be “sucker”.

Fine. But it needs to be gussied up a bit. Gullibus, or something like that.

Credula.

I saw Chris Roberts on TV:

r/starcitizen - Anybody see Chris Roberts in a Spectrum Enterprise commercial?

Sooooooo dreamy… ;)

All I wanted out of Star Citizen was Freelancer with updated graphics and a dynamic economy in the multiplayer, revisiting Bretonia, Rhienland, Kusari etc. Instead they built highly detailed fish-tanks and other crap that will never all work.

Yeah, i feel ya man. I was hoping for basically the same thing, and yeah, no idea what we’re ultimately getting, if anything.

I saw Chris Roberts on TV:

Direct link to video.
Makes me wonder what Spectrum paid him to do it.
Or does CIG pay them?
Or is it some sort of trade?
How does this work?

I dunno. But I think Derek Smart is on Comcast payroll.

LOL!!! Yeah, he did that B roll like months back. We were laughing so hard back then.

Been quiet for a few days, how’s Evocati shaping up?

@dsmart was cautiously optimistic after playing it http://dereksmart.com/forums/reply/5856/

I’m kidding, he says it is all a giant disaster zone. The testers are actually under NDA so it’s not exactly clear what the consensus is among the faithful, but I imagine that they will delay the release into the next stage until after their big convention/ship sale at the end of the month.

LOL!! I was just about to post that, but you beat me to it :)

Seriously, it’s absolutely horrid. Completely.

And yeah, the Evocati NDA is amazing.

Asking here will only net you a reply from Derek telling you it’s an unmitigated disaster, everybody hates it and Roberts will be bankrupt next month. Oh, and JPGs.

Yeah, pretty much. :)

haha i actually watched a bit of one of these CIG clips, epic… “We’ll see you… Around the verse!” some slob in a corona t-shirt blabbing about cake, “of course cake needs icing for flavor”… WTF

[dsmart]

I moved my article into a blog, and cleaned it up a bit. Also added new info in the “flight dynamics” Evocati section & other places. You should read that part. It’s hilarious.

BREAKING! Confirmed. NO REFUNDS policy now in place for Star Citizen. Not sure when it will be across the board. We knew this was coming.

Some of these are now up on refunds Reddit, along with a helpful thread on legal recourse.

Hey Derek, for someone who’s unaware of all the SC developments you’ve been covering, where would you recommend they start? Asking for a friend who refuses to believe that any of this stuff could be true.

That one is very easy. Have them start here. Tell them to say goodbye to their loved ones first.
